Some numbers

Before I set out to open my dinner table to guests, I wrote down some predictions about who would come, how often, etc. Here are the actual results, along with my predictions. I was way off!


Prediction Actual
Max # guests 10 19
Number of visits from highest frequency guest 7 15
Number of discrete guests 25 103
Number of repeated dishes 0 0
Average number of guests 4 6.5
Number of nights with no guests 5 0

The most surprising number to me is 103 unique guests, including 20 people I had never met before! The total number of plate served was 202!

It will come as no surprise to the blog readers that Andy had the most number of visits with 15.
He was followed by Laura with 11 and Em with 10.

Most frequent commenter: Ella/Danica.

Thanks again to everyone that took me up on my open dinner table offer. You are all welcome for dinner anytime you want. I'll need more warning than 3 pm day-of though.

    Melanie,

    I loved your open dinner table. I think you were very gracious and daring to do something as ambitious at that. I truly enjoyed the time at your home and if you do it again next year I will be more help (crutch-less)! You are an amazing chef! Thanks Melanie!

    Jen, Josh, Brock and Rayna
